Blackham Court is a medieval moated site with adjoining fishponds located in Sussex, England. The monument comprises a rectangular moat enclosing a residential platform, characteristic of high-status medieval settlement from the twelfth to sixteenth centuries, alongside evidence of managed water features typical of aristocratic or gentry landholding. The fishponds represent the deliberate exploitation of water resources for food production, a practice particularly prominent during the medieval period. Together, the moated enclosure and fishponds testify to the medieval organisation of this landscape and the investment in both domestic security and resource management by its medieval occupants.
